Aside from California Chrome racing to victory, the indelible image of the Kentucky Derby in Denver was Wes Welker handing out $100 bills.

Outfitted in bright clothes and license-and-registration sunglasses, Welker was spotted by TMZ sharing his winnings with random fans at the derby. Problem is Churchill Downs says that money wasn’t all his because of a “tote malfunction,” according to ESPN.

The track made the mistake, and would like some of its money back.

“An individual believed to be a member of Wes Welker’s group on Kentucky Derby Day was the beneficiary of an overpayment north of $14,000 on a wager due to a tote malfunction,” Churchill Downs spokesman Darren Rogers said in a statement. “In turn, a letter has been sent to that individual in an attempt to resolve the error.”

As a guest on “The Dan Patrick Show,” Welker was told that the race track is seeking a portion of his winnings. Welker, part dead pan, didn’t seem thrilled.

“Yeah (pause), well (pause), get in line,” said Welker.

TMZ first reported that a member of Welker’s party was paid $57,193.90 following the race. Welker admitted that he “won every bet possible,” and thought giving fans $100 bills was cooler than signing autographs for them. Welker owns stakes in race horses, including one named “Undrafted.”

Welker made the rounds on national radio to promote Old Spice . He was at a Denver-area high school on Friday.

“It’s important to let people know not to over spray and that they need to learn to scent responsibly,” Welker said.
